[question] what are good alternatives to jellyfin?

I have a vps where I host a few things and I tried adding jellyfin. It worked and while scanning media railed the CPU/ram, once it was done everything was smooth. However, despite having all dependencies a bunch of videos didn’t play. I also don’t need the music and ebooks side of jellyfin as I’ll be using other things for...

Have you tried installing Jellyfin as a docker container? The official image as well as the linuxserver.io’s image?

I tried docker, yes. I have to check if I used linuxserver.io image but I did use the official one for sure.

Plex and Emby are some alternatives, but these are closed-source solutions.

Aw heck, I’d prefer foss

Kavita is the one I was looking at as well. I hear plex is closed source and I prefer using open.

It’s a vps so maybe I am indeed lacking hardware.

I actually should be able to do it. The files are hosted on a drive I have at home mounted on a raspberry pi, the drive is then mounted on the vps through sshfs, so while it would take a while I think the pi might do it. Otherwise I’ll just do it on my desktop, the drive is mounted through sshfs here too.

I forgot to check that, stupid of me.

While I am posting from a lemmy account (because I didn’t know about kbin when I made it) if I was to host one of the two it would be kbin. The reason is that lemmy has some hardcoded moderation things inside it that I disapprove of. I believe I should be able to say anything I want without fear of being censored on my own self hosted instance and this comes from a leftist, I don’t want to use bad words to insult people, but if I want to use them in a different context I want to be able to. If I see an argument between a bigot and a fellow lgbtq and the bigot calls my comrade with a slur I want to be able to describe the situation using the exact words used. I think maybe it’s a cultural difference thing, where I live using slurs in a context where we describe a situation rather than for insulting someone it’s not seen as a bad thing. We don’t give those words so much power and importance to the point that even just saying the words makes people gasp. I believe that censoring some words by default without even considering the context they are being used in doesn’t help, I believe it just gives the words more power while we should aim to take power away from them.

Also kbin has a much prettier UI in my opinion.

I might be misinformed then, I’ll have look better into it.

First time I read about it, what’s great about it? I currently use a combo of alacritty and tmux and aside for a thing or two I could configure better I love it.

Hard fisagree. Linux isn’t political. Everyone has an opinion, it’s obvious Linus would too. But I am pretty happy that his opinion is one I personally agree with. Linux can be uaed by anyone though, and nothing stops far right activists (terrorists) from making a distro, which would still be Linux. There’s a heavily religious distro too, but that doesn’t make Linux as a whole religious.

Personally I disagree but that’s ok, we can’t all see it the same way :)

help me choose my next distro

I’m resetting windows 10 on my Thinkpad T580 for work but would like to create a partition for linux. It’s an older laptop and really chugs through games like Minecraft or RuneScape but I enjoy playing relaxing games while I listen to audiobooks at night. I grew up using windows which is why I’ve mostly used Ubuntu and...

If your laptop is on the potato side I would personally avoid kde, it’s much lighter now than it used to be but still heavier than other options. Mint looks good in my personal opinion and, again in my opinion, is a better alternative if compared to ubuntu, it’s based on it but with some improvements. The default flavor comes with cinnamon, but if your laptop struggles it’s also available with xfce, which even older machines should be able to handle.
